[https://openclipart.org/search/?query=Winai%20Suthanthangjai Winai Suthanthangjai] Snakes famously like to swallow prey in a big gulp, but snakes discovered in Thailand have developed a horrifyingly different feeding habit that involves disemboweling toads while they're still alive. A team led by Danish herpetologist Henrik Bringsoe captured this novel snacking strategy on camera. The researchers described it as "a hitherto unknown feeding mode among snakes" in a [ paper published in the journal Herpetozoa] this month. CNET Science From the lab to your inbox.

Kanjana Nimnuam "The fights we saw lasted for up to a few hours, depending on the organs the snake would pull out first," [ Bringsoe wrote in a blog post for the journal's publisher Pensoft]. In a fourth instance, an adult kukri snake swallowed a toad whole, leading to plenty of questions about the feeding behavior. Are the snakes avoiding the toxin by going for the organs? Are smaller toads less toxic and safer to eat? The researchers don't have answers yet. If you made it this far and are worried about snake nightmares, you can take some comfort from this: "Perhaps you'd be pleased to know that kukri snakes are, thankfully, harmless to humans," Bringsoe said.

Heavily-armoured officers defended by shields and banks of barbed wire kept the demonstrators from getting close to the King's Guard headquarters in Bangkok on Sunday. Protesters are demanding curbs on of King Maha Vajiralongkorn's power, including that he renounce his claim on several of the royal army regiments. The months of demonstrations against the monarchy - once taboo due to a draconian royal defamation law - have reverberated through the ruling political class.

'These two regiments have been involved in cracking down on people in the past,' said prominent protest leader Parit 'Penguin' Chiwarak. 'They have also played key roles in past coups.' The black-clad protesters wore hair clips with yellow rubber ducks, while those on the frontlines donned gas masks and helmets - prepared for any potential skirmishes with authorities. Two water cannon trucks were parked at the entrance, which was covered with coils of barbed wire. Police in riot gear stood guard outside. 'The things used against us are bought using our taxes, so they are using our money to hurt us,' Farng, a 30-year-old graduate student, told AFP, declining to provide her full name.

'Their duty should be to protect the people.' Protesters folded into paper planes a 'people's declaration' - which called for the regiments to be transferred back - and flew them across the barriers to the stone-faced police. They also threw red paint at the feet of the police to signify the security forces' role in violent crackdowns on previous pro-democracy movements, before rallygoers dispersed at about 10pm. The military has long positioned itself as a defender of Thailand's enormously wealthy royal family, who boast assets conservatively estimated to be some $30-$60 billion. In the name of protecting the king, the army has staged more than a dozen coups since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932. The most recent was in 2014. Coup mastermind General Prayut Chan-O-Cha was head of a junta regime before renewing his lease on power in elections last year, which were governed under a military-scripted constitution.
